wages ofWomcn

The wages paid to women, in almost
every line of business. are miserably
low. 1t is very seldom that women re-
ceive, even for the same work, more than
half the wages of men. Mary A.
Lvermore writing of "Woman's Work
ii Moral R FORMS" say: "In Boston
there arc over twenty thousand women
whose average age is about twenty-five
years, who work ten hours a day for
less than an average of four dollars a
week. This is exclusive of those en-
gagged in domestic service, who number
nearly sixteen thousand more. In the
City of New York one hundred and
twenty five thousand working women
are reported, whose average wages are
no higher than those in Boston. A sim;-
lr condition of things undoubtedly
exists in all our large cities" In Phila-
aelphia there are nearly as m~anysswomen
workers as in New York, and their aver
aggc pay is little, if any larger. Women

dollars. Nor is the diffcreneein renum-
sfasirn aff ctcd by the character of the
work. According to Mrs. Livermore,

Produced.
New YORK, Sept. 2O.-No expense
has been spared by Rudolf nson in
the production of "The Marquis" at
the Casino Monday night. The com.
pany, scenic artists, costumers, car
penters and Messrs. Freeman and Bra
ham have all been hard at work tor
months past with the preparations.
and IN unusually even performance
may be expected. The following is a
brief synopsis of "The Marquis" Mae.
Marie and Marion, respectively, meet
in state coach en- route to Paris.
The peculiar similarity OF their names
awakes mutual interest, and when
about TO separate upon their arrival
in Paris, they agree to meet again five
years later 1T the same plsce,
At the end of the interval
agreed upon, Marion having
inherited from her uncle the inn
"Cadrsn Bleu" is Installed as lis mis-
tress aud is upon the eve of her mar,
risge with Laramee, soldier of the
horse guards, whose regiment Is sta.
toned in the vicinity of the "Cadran
Bleu" Mae, in the meantime has at
tracted the attention OF King Louis
Nv, who has bestowed upon her the
title of Countess DuBary. Marie
has become famous ballet
dancer and through the in
iluence of her fiance, Prince de
Soubise, occupies under the name Of
LaGulmard the position of premier
dansense at the Royal opera house.
LaGulmard and the Countess DuBary
disguised as grlsettes, in tulillment
OF their compact, 90 to meet
Marion at the "Cadran Be,u," arriv-
ing in time 70 Illustrate the suicidal
attempt Of Briolet, Marion's chief
cook, who is madIy in loue with her.
They agree to act as bridesmaids al
the approaching wedding ceremony,
but message is receiyed announcing
that LsRamee ha been unable 10 OBJ
tain the consent of his colonel to the
marriage and the wedding is thereby
postponed, very much 10 the Joy Of
Briolet, ana the disgust of every one
else. The arrival OF the cbalses OF
LAG ulmard and the Countess DuBary
betrays their identity to the villagers,
and the act closes with the festivities
attending the departure of the two
famous ladies.
The second act disclosed the bou-
DOR of LaGuimsrd, who comics ses 10
